英文摘要	Magnetic null points and flux ropes play important roles in the three-dimensional process of magnetic reconnection. In this study, a cluster of null points are reconstructed in the reconnection region in the magnetotail by applying a fitting-reconstruction method to measurements from the Cluster mission. The number of reconstructed null points varies rapidly, presenting a turbulent-like evolution of the magnetic structure. The electron density and the flux of the accelerated electrons were enhanced in this turbulent-like region. During this unstable reconnection process, a B-A(s)-B null structure was formed, showing flux rope features and resembling a secondary island in the observation.; National Natural Science Foundations of China [41274167, 41374166, 41474139, 41404117]; PKU/UCLA Joint Research Institute in Science and Engineering; ISSI, Bern; Science & Technology Facilities Council; European Space Agency Guest Investigator Program; SCI(E); EI; 中国科学引文数据库(CSCD); ARTICLE; grl@pku.edu.cn; 14; 1145-1150; 61
